I’ll give it a try in my brand new ubuntu environment.

Good job.

Notes
– Hobo 1.4 pre requires Rails 3.1.x
– Javascript issue workaround (Centos 6.1)

1) install Rails 3.1.x

2) install hobo (pre)

3) hobo new test14 (will Error out due to ‘missing’ gems)

4) edit test14/Gemfile and add:
gem ‘execjs’
gem ‘therubyracer’

5) hobo new test14 ## You will be prompted to replace files
- Keep the Gemfile and
- accept overwrites for everything else

6) cd test14

7) rails s

8) point your browser at the instance…

Suggests the need to:
a) add above gems to ‘default’ for Hobo?
b) add a hobo command line option to include ’special/missing’ gems?

I used ‘rvm’ to get things into a sensible state.

Currently working through the large tutorial (nice job) but encountered a small issue with CH 3, tutorial 8 – model relationships part II. Things work, however the ‘category’ display shows ‘#’ instead of a post-related id number, i.e.

« Back to Recipe [#, #]

Category Sweet

• Relationships seem to work fine.
• I did run a migration.
• I did restart the server.

Dale,

I have pulled my hair out over the last few week trying to get a working installation of hobo and found lots of resources detailing different approaches, none of which seem to work for my situation.

Anyway I went through a process of trial and error and eventually had some success installing hobo 1.3.0pre2. I documented the steps (only my own notes so hope they make sense to you) I went through to install on Windows 7 64 bit. After 2 weeks of playing with hobo though I do think its worth the effort and perseverance.

The notes may need some slight amendments to get hobo 1.3 full release installed and working but at least you have a start…


1. Installed ruby 1.9.2 p290
2. Downloaded and installed RubyGems 1.8.11 - ruby setup.rb
3. Installed devkit - ruby dk.rb init & ruby dk.rb install
4. Installed Rails - gem install rails -v 3.0.10 --include-dependencies
5. Made sure the only remote resource was rubygems.org
6. Installed hobo - gem install hobo --pre --no-ri --no-rdoc
7. Installed sqlite3 - gem install sqlite3
8. Copied sqlite dll and def files into C:\ruby192\bin
9. Installed earlier version of will_paginate - gem install will_paginate -v 3.0.pre2
10. Add gem dependency to sites gemfile - gem "will_paginate", "3.0.pre2"
11. Unlock the bundle - bundle update will_paginate
12. Do a Bundle Install on the site
13. Uninstall will_paginate version 3.0.pre4 - gem uninstall will_paginate -v 3.0.pre4


Hope it helps ;-)

I’m exploring Rails 3(.x) and tried Hobo and of course it’s a no-go. It may save (some) folks a bit of time if you include a ‘mini how-to run with Hobo’ so all needed steps present.

Since I have installed gems for Rails 3.0 and 3.1 this should be an auto-magick item (IMO.) The 2-minute post says, “You need at least version 3.0 of Rails:” – perhaps I am missing something?

Perhaps building hobo to auto-configure as needed so explorers won’t see:

“Hobo Command Line Interface 1.3.0
Bundler could not find compatible versions for gem “actionpack”:
In Gemfile:
hobo (= 1.3.0) ruby depends on
actionpack (~> 3.0.0) ruby
rails (= 3.1.1) ruby depends on
actionpack (3.1.1)”

Looks really interesting so I’ll keeping poking about until I get Hobo working…
